When it gets that "out of control," I have to set aside a morning (or a day) to right the ship. I call it a Home Recovery Day. This morning, for example, after breakfast and Learning Time, the kids and I spent two hours playing and cleaning the upstairs. I let them play while I cleaned everything but their rooms, and then we cleaned their rooms together. Next, I vacuumed the upstairs, and now they are getting to watch a little Toy Story, while I am eating a banana and catching up on blogs. It is amazing how a clean, vacuumed upstairs gives me such a feeling of calm. And it is also amazing how cleaning with my kids can be such great bonding (and learning!) time.<br /><br />In short, I feel like I have regained control of my crazy house this morning:).Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063678082377147197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3479353484011316066.post-88364922801149180372010-07-26T09:39:48.604-04:002010-07-26T09:39:48.604-04:00Thank you so much for your timely post!

Because I haven't gotten that far yet. And it is taking me so.long.to.get.there. I think all the not done stuff is somehow crippling my motivation, and today I'm going to be praying specifically that God will give me focus and motivation to get some of these things done so they are much easier and enjoyable to manage.Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03171889409871334109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3479353484011316066.post-30831549755061304662010-07-26T07:10:16.063-04:002010-07-26T07:10:16.063-04:00Oh heck yes!

I have some things (like folding washing and putting it away) that stress me out, and you're so right...I use more resources being irritated with it than I would use if I just freaking DID it and got it out from under my feet :)Embejohttp://www.embejoetc.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
